Toyota’s Walk Me is a robotic chair with legs that walk, climb, and fold, redefining mobility at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 ...

This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 kilopascals — soft, like rubber — to 292 megapascals, hundreds of times ...

One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound.

Scientists have discovered a coral mechanism that could help engineers design robots able to adjust their strength and ...

Study investigated the structure-property relationship of the coral’s sclerite-based biological granular jamming system.

Touch the branches of Leptogorgia chilensis, a soft coral found along the Pacific coast from California to Chile, and its flexible arms stiffen, like ...

For workers whose jobs involve hours of lifting and repetitive motion, even small innovations can make a big difference in ...

In a new paper in Science, experts from the University of Chicago describe steps that took place some 66 million years ago to ...

Once considered an old-age affliction, back pain is now striking early. But new, less invasive therapies offer hope ...

Abstract: Soft robots face significant control challenges due to the coupling effects of strain and external forces, particularly with external interactions that change their original model. This ...
